PS1 "Origins" version - World Map?

[Enkida]

I've never played FF2 before, but I thought I'd take part in this month's competition even though I'm starting a little late. Going into it cold turkey is kicking my ass though. Here's a basic question: I have Scott's ring already. So... how do I pull up the world map? Am I missing some magical button combination here because I can't figure it out.

:confused:

At the moment my complete lack of direction sense has landed me in an area called "Palamecia" and I'm fairly certain I'm not supposed to be in this area yet. At least the sudden upgrade from monsters dropping 30 gold to monsters dropping 300 gold (and my party, and very quickly at that) is giving me that sense. I think I'm supposed to be in Palm or Polm or something like that. Help!

I believe the button combination for the World Map in the PSOne version is "O+Select".

That worked! Excellent, thank you :-)

There's a screenshot in the eyes on plays (you should post your screenshots there too as well as your site!) that actually has that scene on it xD

It's funny because the first time I tried to play FF II I got lost too and decided to start over because I didn't remember what I was supposed to do anymore. XD
By the way, you should get back to the Rebel Hideout in Altair and show the ring to Hilda. She'll tell you what to do. If you need to get to Paloom, from Altair go east and cross the lake with the canoe Minwu gave you. Paloom is just across.
